Red Lobster

UPDATE: I have been going every friday and have always requested Melissa P. And she still is the best and always takes care of me. I enjoy her compassionate personality to make sure all guests are accommodated and satisfied.
I had a great time today and the Endless Shrimp dishes were made just right. The best part of the experience was my waiter Ms. Melissa P. who kept the food coming quick and served extra hot. Ms. Melissa even knew that i liked extra cheese on my pasta. Great professional and friendly service.

So this was my first time back to Red Lobster since the Darden restaurant group sell off of the chain a few years back. Growing up in the Carrollwood area in the late 80's/ early 90's this Red Lobster location was THE place to go on the weekends, if you could land a reservation or stand the hour's long wait. We'd go probably a few times a month and I believe this was where my love for lobster really birth from.

Fast forward back to the present, my uncle and I went here recently to channel back some found memories, and we weren't disappointed. My uncle got the Salmon New Orleans, which he devoured. I got the Duo Lobster tails, one roasted, one grilled. Believe me when I say this is an excellent preparation. To add, I asked for some Old Bay seasoning on top which definitely compliments the dish.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is welcoming and properly lit, definitely not bright and overbearing. And yes the Cheddar Bay biscuits are awesomely delicious 😎

The establishment was excellent! Jerry is the current manager and provided great customer service skills and a positive attitude. I can tell his hardworking traits are being reciprocated throughout his team! Jerry keep instilling LEADERSHIP QUALITIES in everything you do! The endless shrimp was exquisite!!!

Red lobster is always an amazing place to dine in, friendly customer service, and great food. We went for a late dinner around 9:30 PM with a party of 7. The appetizers were so good especially stuffed mushrooms. I ordered a salmon entree, much recommended. Can't stop eating their biscuits and lobster gravy, wish they have unlimited biscuit refills 😋

Madison was a WONDERFUL server ! She was very polite and attentive to our needs. Madison, we will be back ! Thank you for the great service

You made me laugh so that’s an extra star for you ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Keep up the great work! You make serving look easy.

- young couple that sat in the back! I hope you remember us lol

Went out to Red Lobster last night for a Friday night meal. It's Lobster Fest right now so it was pretty cool to have a few different dishes to choose from. I ate the Bar Harber Lobster Bake... I think that's what it was called 🤔 🤷 😅, sorry people it's late I don't have any make up on lmao!!!!!

The restaurant was shorthanded, due to a couple of servers calling in. The manager helped her staff to make sure the guests were taken care of. The server was also very attentive to our needs . Deb was the manager of the shift and Alic was the server. Great job.

Everything was amazing. You can't find attentive customer service or food that was made fresh and delicious anymore and they had both. Thank you

Awesome manager, awesome staff! Fabulous food! Very attentive to my needs and my food restrictions! Great place to eat! You've got to visit and if you have any problems with wheat gluten corn syrup this is the place to go!

Food was quite good, prices are reasonable. The lobster soup was way too salty, keep that in mind when ordering. I do advice you don't order too much, food fills you up pretty quick.

Amazing birthday dinner and dining experience 🥳🎉 Manager went above and beyond to accommodate missing Moscato and replace with alternative. Mango White Reisling Sangria omg sooo good.Dinner was super tasty everything fresh and appetizing. Lobster Dream Trio, Crab legs and Lobster, and Lobster topped baked potatoes. Everything super yummy. Birthday Ice Cream with a candle perfect ending with a group song from the staff.They made it funny and enjoyable. Truly had a great time. Great date night and family place.Very clean and inviting. Would definitely go back.10 stars if I could give it. Food and customer service was spot on. 👏👌

The wife requested a delicious seafood feast. Red lobster delivered literally. Outstanding from the shrimp scampi to the coleslaw. I was blown away. Look no further for the freshest seafood in Tampa

Waited about 15-20 minutes for server to ask drink preferences BUT HUNTAY I got the unlimited shrimp(multiple options) 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 not a fan of the clam chowder but the skrimpssss to die for definitely be back...oh an the broccoli was so soft could use a garlic butter seasoning an a lil char

Amazing service! Our waitress was very friendly and we were seated immediately. The restaurant was very clean and they looked like they followed COVID protocols. Food was absolutely delicious (too much butter on the scallops though) and an excellent meal for the price. Must go back.

Lexi and staff were great this evening. They went "above" for my parent's, their friends, and I as we enjoyed some delicious seafood. $20 shrimp scampi and lobster tail special on Mondays is worth every penny. Will be back

Took my mom here for Mother’s Day today 05/14/2023 it was great our waitress made sure everything was good checked up on us and also loved that everyone that worked there said happy Mother’s Day to my mom and to other mothers walking in as well the food was lord it was good thank you red lobster for a great Mother’s Day

The Lobster, Shrimp and Salmon were finger licking delicious!🤤 I'm very picky when it comes to the salmon, but their salmon was really tender and juicy. My hubby's Bar Harbor Lobster Bake was amazingly delicious!😋 He loved the mixture of seafood over the linguini. Thank you to our server John, for his great recommendations on the food and drinks and for his Excellent service!👍👍 We will definitely be going back soon and we'll be putting in a good word with our friends and family. 😉

No wait time.Erica was our waiter she was fantastic. They constantly disinfecting between customers and tables were social distant.The food was so good I ordered my favorite Lobster Everything lol!This restaurant is highly recommended

We had an incredible experience dining at the Carrollwood Red Lobster located on N. Dale Mabry. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the manager, Karl, who made us feel right at home. Our waitress, Anaihya, was simply flawless. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect.

The food at Red Lobster was exceptional. Every dish was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. For our main course, we tried the Ultimate Feast, which included lobster tail, crab legs, fried shrimp, and shrimp scampi. The seafood was fresh, perfectly cooked, and served hot, which made the meal even more enjoyable.

One thing that stood out to me was the attention to detail that the staff at Red Lobster paid to each dish. Every dish was beautifully presented and served with care, which added to the overall experience. I also appreciated the wide variety of seafood options on the menu, which made it easy to find something that everyone in our group enjoyed.

Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Red Lobster on North Dale Mabry Highway. The food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch, especially thanks to our exceptional waitress, Anaihya. If you're looking for a great seafood restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere and amazing food, I highly recommend visiting this Red Lobster.

This review is only for the limited edition Lobster Claw Bloody Mary.

It was a perfect visit and everything I expected from the advertisement. There was nothing misleading it was a healthy portion of toppings and a delicious Bloody Mary. (Went back and had a lobster, was not let down)
